CURRENT WORK
I have always struggled with looking at myself or my life objectively. This has been a particular challenge when it comes to the narrative behind my artwork. Over the years I have experimented with many approaches, mediums, subject matters, all while trying to find the process that would allow me to accurately communicate my feelings and thoughts around a subject. They are often complex and shifting. I’ve struggled to capture this in a singular image, a static self contained work. I now believe I have found the “language” and process that lets me fully articulate the intricacies of my perspective. And beyond that, I believe I have found the way that allows my work to be a conversation with the viewer. It is no longer linear and it invites the viewer to physically manifest their interpretation. This process allows the work to keep evolving over time. I have finally manifested the first whispers of this idea, and it is everything I imagined it to be. Meaning via context. The experiment is now over. Now it is time to express and explore.

RODIN AND MODERNISM

An awesome tidbit I learned about Rodin last semester is that he was considered the father of Modern sculpture. Why? Because he explored the idea of what it meant to be a sculpture. What figural elements were unnecessary, and could be eliminated, while the overall piece still communicated the essential. Here are examples of this idea in his work. Can arms be missing and still show a human form? Legs? Head?
